Weird Regulator

The palm-sized ashtray was filled with cigarette butts, and the wisps of smoke were slowly floating upward.

The surroundings were quiet except for the wheezing sound of half-burned cigarettes.

The cigarette he had just pinched in had not been completely extinguished, and a strong burnt smell irritated Ji Li's tired mind.

He grabbed the wine bottle on the table and poured it into the ashtray to suppress the pungent smell.

After the sound of burning turned to the sound of pouring out, the seven mobile phones placed on the table vibrated at the same moment.

In an instant, everyone who had been trapped in their hearts late at night was forcibly awakened.

Ji Li silently drank the wine at the bottom of the bottle, unlocked his phone, and the pale light shone on his pale face.

Recipient: Ji Li, manager of the seventh branch of Tianhai Hotel.

Please arrive at the employer's location on time at 0:00 on November 29, 2015, and take over the task.

Do your best to complete tasks posted by your employer and earn commissions.

This mission is for the seventh and ninth branches, a joint pick-up mission.

Note 1: The employer must not be harmed in any way during the task, and the safety of the employer must be ensured;

Note 2: There are many ghosts in this mission, and the store staff needs to identify the source of the ghosts themselves and guide them to the branch;

Note 3: ‘Commission’ is a special reward for this task;

Note 4: In view of the large level difference between the seventh branch and the ninth branch in this mission, the commission reward for survivors will be doubled.

Sender: Tianhai.

This is the mission email Ji Li received. The content is simple and easy to understand, almost the same as what he had guessed before.

After the text message of this email, there is also a color picture.

After Ji Li took a brief look at it, he saw it was an advertising poster for the Seventh Spiritual Detective Agency.

Although this poster has monotonous colors and not much content, it looks quite professional.

Even mission events that Ji Li had participated in were transformed into real cases of the spirit detection institute to demonstrate the institute's spirit detection capabilities.

Yu Guo also came over at this time. He poked Ji Li's arm and said with a smile:

The content of the emails we received are really different, right?

The emails on Yu Guo's cell phone were generally consistent with Ji Li's, and there were no differences in the individual comments.

Only some of the wording clearly stated their identity as detectives, which was different from Ji Li's detective.

The specific task content is also responsible for assisting Ji Li in completing the tasks issued by his employer.

As we guessed before, our employer is the black gum.

We need to get in touch with her first and go to her residence to ‘take the order’, and we also need to earn a commission.

This mission is really quite formal.

Yu Guo looked at the poster of the Seventh Soul Exploration Center and said with a slight sigh.

After reading the mission content, Zhanxun also stood up and walked towards Ji Li, saying as he walked:

This time it's really a mission with multiple ghosts. Look at note 2. Among the multiple ghosts, we still have to identify which one we want to attract.

This level of difficulty is probably very high...

Zhanxun had never performed a mission before, so it was his first time to participate in a mission comparable to a four-star promotion level. It was very stressful for him.

He is still like this, let alone the remaining people.

Especially Su Qin'er, who had been tortured physically and mentally by the ghosts in her nightmares for a long time. At this moment, she was staring at the mission email without moving.

Jiang Jiang is a timid person, so there is no need to say more.

Although Ma Huaiyu, a man, did not show how miserable he was, his inner panic could be seen from the violent trembling of his right hand holding his glasses.

On the contrary, it was Fan Ru, a veteran fish seller who was more beautiful than a man. He glanced sideways at Jiang Jiang and snorted coldly:

I was paralyzed before I even entered the mission. I'm afraid I wouldn't wet my pants once I entered, but it would be worse than what we had at home.

When Jiang Jiang heard this, he didn't even dare to fart. It was exactly as Fan Ru said. He was indeed paralyzed on the chair with his whole body weak.

Ji Li did not comment much on the content of this mission. The general content had been thoroughly analyzed before.

Regarding several annotation issues, we can discuss them while we are on the road.

The starting point of everything was to know the contact location of the black gum, so he called the phone number he had previously obtained from the photo information.

The five days agreed in advance had arrived, so Ji Li's call was quickly picked up.

The black gum on the other end of the phone still had the same attitude as before, doing things simply and speaking coldly:

Detective Ji, are you ready?

Since learning about the content of this mission, Ji Li has been very concerned about Eucalyptus nigra and cherishes every exchange:

Yes, Ms. Black, five days have come and we are ready to go to the appointment at any time.

You go to No. 4314 Qingyuan Road. I will arrive at 0:11 in the morning. Don't make me wait for you.

Black Gum's attitude was not good, but Ji Li didn't say much because she had already hung up the phone unilaterally after saying this.

Yu Guo had been listening to the conversation next to Ji Li, and seemed to become a little confused after hearing the name of this place.

He always felt that he had heard of this place somewhere, but he couldn't remember it.

Zhan Xun, on the other hand, was waiting eagerly beside Ji Li, his body straight. He didn't even realize that he was already nervous before he even entered the task.

After getting the location of his employer, Ji Li didn't want to waste time, so he tapped the table with his fingers and ordered in a cold voice:

“It’s 10:07pm and you have five minutes to get ready.

We will meet at the entrance of the hall in five minutes. We must leave immediately.

The mission time this time was almost the same as what they predicted from the Ninth Branch, with only a few dozen minutes difference.

And it is explicitly required to arrive at the employer's location on time at zero o'clock, leaving little time for them to buffer.

After everyone returned to the room to pack their belongings, Ji Li was still holding his cell phone and pacing in place.

He looked at the last note repeatedly. This was a rare mission rule in which Tian Hai was obviously biased.

In the past, when jointly recruiting Xue Tinghai, Li Congrong and others, their branches were also very different, but there was no such rule at all.

Since it wouldn't have happened then, it shouldn't happen now either.

But it actually appeared, so he needed to think carefully about the meaning behind this rule.

Commissions, special rewards, doubled for survivors...

Ji Li stood at the door of the hall dressed in black, looking at the vast night outside the door, and silently recited:

What exactly is this commission?

Just thinking about it, Ji Li's brows suddenly frowned, and he turned his head impatiently and looked in a certain direction.

The place was empty, but low sobs echoed.

Although she suppressed it very well, she still inevitably showed some flaws and was overheard by Ji Li.

Why are you still crying?

Ji Li looked there coldly, without any pity.

As the words fell, he could no longer hear any crying.

The words he said five days ago seemed to really hurt her, so much so that she would rather come to give him gifts than show up.

It's a pity that what she waited for was not comfort, but an even colder rebuke.

Until Ji Li, Yu Guo and the other seven people had set foot on the starting point of this mission, she did not dare to show up for fear of affecting Ji Li.

But in the empty seventh branch, a woman's quiet voice still sounded, which meant that she still had to watch Ji Li off.

I don't want to lie to you, don't want to harm you, let alone let you die...

But you are already dead...
